Month two! Guys this month was fucking insane, activity hasn’t been this consistenty high in years, and character counts are breaking lifetime records. I’m very happy to present WAYRStats for the month of June 2020!

WAYRStats Contest Winner

Let’s do the important part first: the contest! If you posted three separate times this month in any of the WAYR threads, your name made it to this list, and thus you are eligible for the contest.

And the qualifying winners for the Jun WAYR contest are:

/u/PHNX_Arcanus
/u/alwayslonesome
/u/caspar57
/u/SailorKapibara
/u/UnknownNinja
/u/donuteater111
/u/SignificantMaybe
/u/Kiesuu
/u/deathjohnson1
/u/Alexfang452
/u/superange128
/u/fallenguru
/u/_Garudyne
/u/August_Hail
/u/eiruki
/u/Bantarific

It was /u/superange128 who did the honors this time, and our winner for this month is /u/kiesuu! Congratulations! For your choice of prizes you will have access to:

• A custom text flair on old.reddit
• A custom character flair on old.reddit
• Your choice of the sidebar recommendation (new and old)

Over time we’re hoping this list of prizes can expand, especially to include VNs themselves; for now, while this whole thing is just starting out, it’ll be a smaller list.

Single Line Statistics

These are cumulative stats calculated based on entire data sets for the month, boiled down into singular numbers.

• We had an average of [29] WAYR posts per thread this month.
• We had an average of [112] total comments per thread this month.
• The average length of WAYR posts for this month is [4583] characters.
• The average length of any comment for this month is [1204] characters.
• A total of [62] unique users commented on the threads this month.
• The Pretty People Coefficient: Percentage of users who have set custom character flairs: [41%]

Averages are up across the fucking board broseidon. I dunno if it was the big influx of SubaHibi readers but this month smashed comment count records for the year three times over like it was fuckin nothing. Prior to June the last time we had a thread with over 100 comments was Christmas 2019; before that? May 23rd, 2018. Scrolling through the old threads there hasn’t been a surge of activity like this in years, and frankly I’m amazed to see it happening. People are typing more, commenting more, doing more, it’s a dream come true.

User Lists

These are lists of users who have met certain criteria - leaderboard implementation of these lists is doable but not really effective based on the conditions.

The Perfect Attendance Club

Users who posted in every thread for the month.

/u/PHNX_Arcanus
/u/August_Hail
/u/eiruki
/u/superange128
/u/UnknownNinja
/u/_Garudyne
/u/donuteater111
/u/deathjohnson1
/u/Alexfang452
/u/caspar57
/u/fallenguru

List is 50% bigger than last month, good job guys.

The Early Bird Club

Posting within 24 hours of a weekly thread going live at least twice.

Conclusions

I’m honestly awestruck. The measurability of how WAYRStats has changed things is just staggering, I’m blown away by all the new activity and discussion. Honestly though I want to highlight something I’ve noticed that I think is very much worth mentioning - I make it a point to upvote just about every comment in those threads, but my efforts aside by the end of the week there’s not a single parent comment in the thread with 1 point. Late posters obviously get less than those who slap theirs down as soon as the thread opens up, but I really wanted to highlight that y’all are wholesome as fuck sitting down together every week and just chatting about what everyone is reading; these threads are my favorite part of the entire community and I’m very happy to have helped them reach even greater heights.

So, here’s a link to the discord server, pop on by if you’re interested in the project!

Remember to upvote automod-chan, and as always: What are you Reading?
